    Q
    What product is recommended to kill mosquitoes in bromeliad water?
    Wth the zika virus in Florida they are recommending pulling up blomeliads.
    A

    Talstar P will kill mosquitoes including those that carry Zika and other viruses/diseases commonly carried by this pest. We do not recommend using the product near water. We do carry a product that can be applied close to water areas called Essentria IC3. We would recommend adding a larvacide such as Mosquito Beater to the areas with standing water.
    Here is a link to our full comprehensive guide on Mosquito control. This guide contains step by step treatment and prevention instructions, how to videos, hot spot info-graphics and pro tips.

    Q
    What setting should be used on a Mister Blower when applying products from the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional?
    On the mister blower, which setting should be used to distribute these chemicals: 1, 1.8, or 2.3?
    A

    What setting is appropriate for you when using the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional will depend on the machine you are using and the density of the foliage that you need to treat. If you are using a Solo 451, then the lowest setting is usually strong enough for insecticide applications.

    Q
    What bugs will the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional help control?
    Is it good to get rid of flies? Will it harm bees?
    A

    The Mosquito Control Kit - Professional contains Talstar P which is labeled for over 75 different pests.  Tekko Pro and ExciteR also have a broad list of insects on the label.  Altosid is the only one specifically for mosquitoes.  The kit would also help with flies if they are in the area during treatment or contact a treated surface long enough to receive a lethal dose.  The same also applies for bees though you can avoid harming them but applying late in the evening or early morning when they are less active in the area.

  • Asked by Julie from Glendo, Wyoming
    06/17/2019
    Q
    What is the best way to get rid of my mosquitoes?
    I have a tractor mounted PTO powered mister with a 100 gallon tank. With a slight breeze my mist will go well over 100 feet. I have a half mile of treed creek bed and some pasture and lawn.
    A

    You can certainly use the products in the Mosquito Control Kit – Professional to treat your property as long as your sprayer is a mister and not a ULV fogger. Be sure that there would not be any overspray onto bodies of water with aquatic life or edible plants like a vegetable garden. You want to concentrate on ornamental shrubs, low tree branches, around structures, and other spots where mosquitoes are likely to land. The Altosid Pro-G in this kit is a larvicide to use in standing water, containerized water, or spots that may flood when you have rain to prevent new mosquitoes from breeding in treated areas. Please take a look at our Mosquito Treatment Guide here for more tips.

    If you are spraying on a pasture, then you need to use a product such as Essentria All Purpose which is labeled for use in these areas. You can use All Purpose near bodies of water, too.

    Q
    What do you recommend for mosquito control outdoors?
    A

    We would recommend our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. It includes a great variety of products and active ingredients. This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an Insect Growth Regulator, as well as a larvicide so that you can treat both land and standing water. Exciter Insecticide contains natural pyrethrins and Piperonyl Butoxide for a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, while Talstar P offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas. Tekko Pro IGR prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood. The key is to apply these products to all shrubs, trees, and other foliage around the house or where you are trying to provide relief. It should be directed not only on top of the leaves and plants, but on the underside of the leaves as well which is where the mosquitoes hang out during the heat of the day.

  • Asked by Jason from Dunwoody, Ga
    05/24/2018
    Q
    Can the Mosquito Control Kit products be combined with broadleaf herbicides like Trimec?
    Have a 3.5 acre lot with mostly grass. I would like to mix this in with Trimec or Speedzone Southern to kill bugs and weeds at the same time. I use a 40 gallon tractor 3 point spray applicator and would prefer to not waste that much of the chemicals if it won't work.
    A

    Since the key to eliminating mosquitoes is applying products in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional to the underside of leaves on trees and bushes, it would not be recommended to mix with herbicide for this application. Both Trimec and SpeedZone Southern will damage or kill desirable ornamental plants. If just spraying grass you could do so, though, following each mixing rate on the individual product labels.  It would also be recommended to do a compatibility test to ensure there would be no issues with tank mixing beforehand following the jar test instructions on the product label for either Trimec or Speedzone Southern. Please refer to our Mosquito Treatment Guide for more tips on eradicating this pest.

    Q
    I recently purchased the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. Curious if you have a recommended metering rate.
    Stilh SR450 with pressure pump.
    A

    We apologize, but since we do not carry the Stihl brand products, we are not familiar enough to provide settings for them.  We can only provide the application rates for the products included in the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional.  Both Talstar P and Tekko Pro are diluted at the rate of 1 oz. per gallon of water.  You will use 0.5 oz. of ExciteR per gallon of water.  Each finished gallon covers approximately 1000 sq. ft.

    Q
    Is there an organic option, we have koi pond?
    3 out of the 4 labels say it is not safe for fish
    A

    We do not have a Mosquito Kit that is natural/organic but you can use an insecticide like EcoVia or Essentria IC3 around water which are both safe for aquatic life.  Otherwise if using the Mosquito Control Kit - Professional avoid allowing drift or spray to contact the koi pond by keeping applications at least 10 feet away or cover if small enough during application.

  • Asked by Lisa from Toms River New Jersey
    07/25/2018
    Q
    What combination of products can I use for mosquito control?
    flies too
    A

    We would recommend our Mosquito Control Kit - Professional. The kit contains products with different active ingredients that target different stages of mosquito development for the most thorough population control.This kit contains two insecticide concentrates, an Insect Growth Regulator, as well as a larvicide so that you can treat both land and standing water. Exciter Insecticide contains natural pyrethrins and Piperonyl Butoxide for a quick knockdown of adult mosquitoes, while Talstar P offers residual protection on mosquito resting areas. Tekko Pro IGR prohibits the development of immature mosquitoes, and Altosid Pro-G is a larvicide to treat standing water or areas likely to flood. Apply spray solution to adult mosquito resting areas, including ornamental plants such as dense brush, tall grasses, and especially the undersides of leaves on trees and bushes. Also treat resting areas on structures such as under eaves or other overhangs, under decks and porches, and in other moist, shady areas where mosquitoes may rest or breed.

    Talstar P is also a great residual product for fly control. Please see our Flies Pest Guide for more information.
